RE: Shameless
Well I've worked for about 35 years of my life, unfortunately right now I am unemployed, but frankly I think the woman is beautiful and I see nothing wrong in her using these pictures to make some money, hell they aren't even nudes, I don't know what you guys are complaining about, everyone is entitled to exploit his or her best gifts, and that is all this girl is doing.
I simply presented the reality of the situation brought up in the previous post, i.e. the success of a poster is their responsibility. Whether they choose to exploit their body or mind to achieve that end is irrelevant to the conclusion; success. The greater issue brought up, relates to the value proposition of steemit as a platform for both creators and content consumers. We will certainly see more content of the type we reward, additionally people seek to optimize for minimal labor and maximal reward. So it follows that if we reward content which capitalizes on largely hereditary traits and requires low effort to produce we encourage an increase in its production while simultaneously disincentivizing creation of content which by its nature is more difficult to produce and inherently rare. this is a trend exemplified by media in general, but i won't go into an even longer diatribe on societies which value vanity over substance and their historical fates'. In short, do you want crypto-Instagram or a hub for creative thoughtful content? for the record I'm on neither side, its all just entertainment to me.
Frankly @cslaw I was more answering @alexanderbaima who is the one that is really complaining, as for it being unfair, of course it is, you look at the trending posts and many of them aren't even worth looking at, they have no essence no thought in them, yet they are making a lot of money, I tell you your reply to my comment is much better than a lot of trending posts and all it's going to get is the upvote I am going to give it.
Expected flag got an upvote. Seems open discourse is alive and well on steemit.
